The act
Experienced, observant comedy can give the wedding room an easy sense of recognition when John Peacock turns ordinary frustrations into stories. His material draws on long relationships, ageing, changing careers, small business, sport and the parts of modern life he does not understand. John can work clean and can also serve as a thorough MC with a straightforward hosting style when required. His experience includes headline comedy, international performance, major Australian festivals and the Edinburgh Fringe. The strongest quality is a substantial life perspective paired with the judgement to adapt both comedy and hosting for the people in the room.

Good to know
What to expect
John draws on a life that's actually been lived, so the comedy lands on things people recognise: running your own business, long relationships, sporting clubs, and the steady bewilderment of a world that keeps changing the rules. He lives in Byron Bay and cheerfully admits to looking the part. He can work clean if the room needs it, and he's a thorough MC who'll play it straight when the job calls for straight. What you get is honesty first and gags second, which tends to work better in a corporate room than the other way round.
On the day
Every gig is different and he'd rather work through your expectations properly than hand you a checklist. The basics are a stage or some kind of raised area, a microphone, a spotlight, and the ability to bring the room lights down. Beyond that, he'll assess what your event actually needs when you talk it through.
Performance options
Northern NSW is home, and John Peacock will drive up to three hours in either direction for a booking, which puts Brisbane, the Gold Coast and most of the north coast comfortably inside range. Beyond that he flies, with business class for anything over four hours in the air. Where the gig finishes too late to get home the same night, he asks for accommodation of a decent four star standard with breakfast included. Work out the distance before you enquire and it is easy to sort.
